NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, therefore,
do not include all information and footnotes which would be presented were such
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements presented in the Company's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders.  In
the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all
adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
interim period presented. The results of operations for such interim period are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE B - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted
average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each
period taking into consideration dilutive effects of common stock equivalents.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations.

The following should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" presented in the
Company's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders.

Overview

Datum designs, manufactures and markets a wide variety of high-quality, high
performance time and frequency products used to synchronize the flow of
information in telecommunications and enterprise computing networks. Datum also
is a leading supplier of high-performance timing products for a wide variety of
scientific and industrial test and measurement applications.

On March 17, 1995, Datum completed its acquisition of Efratom, the inventor and
leading supplier of high-stability, rubidium-based oscillators widely used in
cellular and PCS systems.  The purchase price consisted of $15,000,000 cash and
1,277,778 shares of Datum's Common Stock.  The cash portion of the purchase
price is subject to a post-closing adjustment yet to be determined.  See
"Liquidity and Capital Resources."  The transaction has been accounted for as a
purchase and, accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities have been
recorded at their estimated fair market values at the date of the acquisition.
In connection with the acquisition, Datum recorded $8,469,000 in goodwill,
subject to a post-closing adjustment which amount will be amortized (and
charged against earnings) for 15 years from the date of the acquisition.

As a result of the acquisition, Datum has experienced significant increases (in
absolute terms) in revenue, selling expenses, general and administrative
expenses, accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable, in the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1995 from the corresponding periods of
1994.  In addition, Datum has experienced, and expects to continue to
experience, material changes (in percentage terms) in certain areas of its
operations as a result of the acquisition of Efratom.  Efratom has historically
experienced substantial fluctuations in quarterly operating results because of
its dependence on relatively few major customers and the ordering patterns of
its customers and other factors.  The future operating results of Datum may
exhibit similar fluctuations due to the combination with Efratom.  Other
factors that could cause Datum's sales and operating results to vary
significantly from period to period include timing of deliveries of new
products, contractual commitments to reduce prices of goods sold, mix of
products sold, fluctuating market demand, new product introductions by
competitors, disruptions in delivery of components or subsystems and general
economic conditions.  Due to contractual obligations and the nature of its
manufacturing processes, Efratom maintains higher levels of inventories, both
on absolute and percentage basis, than Datum historically maintained.  As a
result, Datum anticipates that inventories, as a percentage of total assets,
will continue above previous levels, which will have the effect of increasing
Datum's working capital requirements.  In addition, Efratom traditionally has
had higher research and product development expenses as a percentage of net
sales, and Datum anticipates maintaining such higher level of expenditures.

A small number of customers account for a substantial portion of Datum's net
sales.  There can be no assurance that a major customer will not reduce, delay
or eliminate its purchases.  Any such reduction, delay or loss in orders could
have a material adverse effect on Datum's business and results of operations.

Consolidated net product sales and contract revenues increased by 131.3% for
the quarter ended September 30, 1995, when compared to the corresponding
quarter of 1994.  For the nine month period of 1995, the sales increase was
94.1% when compared to the same three quarters of 1994.  The increases were
primarily due to the acquisition of Efratom on March 17, 1995.  Contract
revenues as a component of total revenues are not significant.

Cost of products sold and contract revenues as a percentage of product sales
for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, was 60.3%, compared with 56.8% for
the corresponding quarter of 1994.  For the nine month period of 1995, cost of
products sold was 57.5% compared with 56.2% in 1994.  The mix of products sold,
specifically by Efratom, contributed to a higher than average cost in the third
quarter.

Selling expense increased by $1,353,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
1995 over the similar period in 1994, as a result of  the acquisition of
Efratom, the addition of a telecommunications sales organization, and the
expansion of its enterprise computing operations.  However, sales expense as a
percentage of product sales decreased to 14.6%  for the quarter ended September
30, 1995, from 16.9% for the corresponding quarter of 1994.

Product development expense as a percentage of product sales increased to 10.5%
for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, compared with 8.3% for the
corresponding quarter of 1994.  In the absence of the acquisition of Efratom,
product development expense as a percentage of product sales would have
increased from 8.3% to 9.0% due to increased telecommunication product
development.  In addition, Efratom product development expense, as a percentage
of product sales, is higher than that of the other divisions of Datum.

General and administrative expense increased by $1,064,000 to $2,010,000 for
the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  Of this increase, $783,000 was due to
the addition of Efratom which was not in the corresponding quarter of 1994.  An
additional  $350,000 of the increase was due to amortization of excess purchase
price of the Efratom acquisition, also not in the corresponding quarter of
1994.  General and administrative expense as a percentage of product sales
decreased to 10.8% in the quarter ended September 30, 1995, compared to 11.8%
in the corresponding quarter of 1994 (as a result of a larger sales volume).

Interest expense increased for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 to $477,000
from $62,000 in the corresponding quarter of 1994.  This is due to the
borrowing of $15 million for part of the Efratom purchase price and up to an
additional $12 million to cover the increased daily working capital needs of
the combined operations. The borrowing level at September 30, 1995 was $21.3
million.

Net income as a percentage of product sales decreased to 0.8% in the current
quarter from 3.3% in the same quarter of 1994. The mix of products sold, the
added cost of product development, increased amortization of excess purchase
price, and interest expense due to the acquisition of Efratom, accounted for
this differential.

Direct and indirect sales to the United States Government for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 were $3,934,000 and $18,606,000,
respectively, compared to $2,409,000 and $7,898,000 for the corresponding prior
year periods.  These sales are subject to various risks, including
unpredictable reductions in funds available for Datum's projects and contract
termination at the convenience of the government.  A significant portion of
Datum's U.S. government business is also subject to reduction or termination
due to government policy changes, such as reductions in military defense
spending.

International sales accounted for 19.6% and 21.3% of total sales for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to 23.6% and 21.8% for the
corresponding year periods.  International sales expose Datum to certain risks,
including different or changing standards in international telecommunications
systems, the difficulty and expense of maintaining foreign sales distribution
channels, barriers to trade, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates,
availability of suitable export financing, export license requirements and
other domestic and foreign regulations that may apply to the export of Datum's
products.

The common and common equivalent shares and the resulting earnings per share
were affected by the lower net income and by the shares issued to Ball
Corporation for the acquisition of Efratom on March 17, 1995 and, to a lesser
extent by the exercise of stock options adding to outstanding shares.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Accounts receivable, including accounts receivable unbilled, increased from
$6,304,000 at December 31, 1994 to $12,605,000 at September 30, 1995.  The
major reason for the increase is the presence of Efratom receivables of
$6,315,000 not applicable on December 31, 1994.

Inventories increased from $6,992,000 at December 31, 1994, to $19,988,000 at
September 30, 1995.  The increase is primarily the result of $12,139,000 of
Efratom inventories not present on December 31, 1994.  Datum anticipates
continuing increased levels of inventories which will result in increased
demand on capital resources.

Prepaid expenses increased from $432,000 at December 31, 1994 to $1,037,000 at
September 30, 1995.  The Efratom acquisition added $690,000 not present at
December 31, 1994.

Accounts payable increased from $1,598,000 at December 31, 1994 to $3,600,000
at September 30, 1995.  Efratom accounts payable accounted for $1,643,000 of
that difference.

At September 30, 1995, the Company had working capital of $16,714,000 and a
current ratio of 1.9:1.  This compares to working capital of $8,684,000 and a
current ratio of 2.4:1 at December 31, 1994.  The decline in the current ratio
is the result of additional financing associated with the Efratom acquisition.

On March 17, 1995, the Company entered into an arrangement with its bank for a
credit facility, which was amended on August 31, 1995, containing:  (i) a
$14,000,000 revolving line of credit; (ii) a $2,500,000 term loan payable over
six (6) years; (iii) a $2,500,000 term loan amortized over twenty-five (25)
years, payable in five (5) years; (iv) a $6,000,000 term loan payable over four
(4) years; (v) a $2,000,000 term commitment to be repaid in thirty-six (36)
equal installments beginning January 1996.  All of the loans have interest
payable at the bank's prime rate plus .5% to .75%.  The loans are secured by
accounts receivable, inventory, real estate and equipment of the Company.  The
credit arrangement is effective through June 6, 1996.  The borrowing level at
September 30, 1995 was $21.3 million.

The notes payable to the bank of $9,724,000 at September 30, 1995 reflects the
revolving line with the bank which can be increased to a maximum of
$14,000,000.  This September 30, 1995 balance includes $4,000,000 utilized for
a portion of the $15,000,000 cash purchase price of Efratom.  The additional
usage is to cover the higher levels of accounts receivable and inventory.

The current portion of the long-term debt reflects the banking arrangements
described above which are due and payable in the next twelve (12) months.

Datum expects continued capital requirements for expansion of its manufacturing
facilities and to finance increases in revenue.  Datum does not currently
anticipate meeting additional capital requirements through its credit
arrangements, but may seek additional capital resources from the sales of
equity, debt or convertible securities. There can be no assurance that any
additional financing will be available if and when desired on terms acceptable
to Datum, or that such additional financing, if available, would not result in
dilution of the equity interests of existing stockholders.  The ability of
Datum to raise additional debt or equity capital will depend upon its financial
condition, results of operations, covenants and limitations of outstanding debt
obligations, and general economic conditions.

The acquisition of Efratom was concluded subject to a potential purchase price
adjustment based on a closing date statement of working capital.  Ball
Corporation and Datum are finalizing the values necessary to determine the
closing date balance sheet and Datum anticipates resolving this adjustment
before year end.  Any purchase price adjustment will be reflected in excess of
purchase price over net assets acquired and is not expected to be material to
results of operations.

                      FIRST AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT


         THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered
into as of August 31, 1995, by and between DATUM INC., a Delaware corporation
("Borrower"), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Bank").


                                R E C I T A L S

         WHEREAS, Borrower is currently indebted to Bank pursuant to the terms
and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated
as of December 16, 1994, as amended from time to time ("Credit Agreement");

         WHEREAS, Bank and Borrower have agreed to certain changes in the terms
and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement and have agreed to amend the
Credit Agreement to reflect said changes;

         NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the
Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

         1.      Section 1.1(a) is hereby amended by deleting "ELEVEN MILLION
DOLLARS ($11,000,000,)" as the maximum principal amount available under the
Line of Credit, and by substituting for said amount "FOURTEEN MILLION DOLLARS
($14,000,000)," with such change to be effective upon the execution and
delivery to Bank of a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit A
attached hereto (which promissory note shall replace and be deemed the 

<PAGE>   2
Line of Credit Note defined in and made pursuant to the Credit Agreement) 
and all other contracts, instruments and documents required by Bank to evidence 
such change.

         2.      Section 1.1(a)(viii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted
in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

                 "(viii)  that portion of any account from an account debtor
                 other than AT&T which represents the amount by which the
                 Borrowing Base Parties' total accounts from said account
                 debtor on a combined basis exceeds twenty- five percent (25%)
                 of the Borrowing Base Parties' total accounts on a combined
                 basis; that portion of any account from AT&T which represents
                 the amount by which the Borrowing Base Parties' total accounts
                 from AT&T exceeds thirty percent (30%) of the Borrowing Base
                 Parties' total accounts;"

         3.      The following is hereby added to the Credit Agreement as
                 Section 1.4.1.:

                 "SECTION 1.4.1. TERM COMMITMENT.

                          (a)     Term Commitment.  Subject to the terms and
                 conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make
                 advances to Borrower from time to time up to and including
                 January 10, 1996, not to exceed the aggregate principal amount
                 of TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000.00) ("Term Commitment"),
                 the proceeds of which shall be used to finance capital
                 expenditures, and which shall be converted on January 10,
                 1996, to a term loan, as described more fully below.
                 Borrower's obligation to repay advances under the Term
                 Commitment shall be evidenced by a promissory note
                 substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto ("Term
                 Commitment Note"), all terms of which are incorporated herein
                 by this reference.

                          (b)     Limitation on Borrowings.  Notwithstanding
                 any other provision of this Agreement, the aggregate amount of
                 all outstanding borrowings under the Term Commitment shall not
                 at any time exceed a maximum of Two Million Dollars
                 ($2,000,000.00).

                          (c)     Borrowing and Repayment.  Borrower may from
                 time to time during the period in which Bank will make
                 advances under the Term Commitment borrow and partially or
                 wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, provided that amounts
                 repaid may not be reborrowed, subject to all the limitations,
                 terms and conditions contained herein; provided however, that
                 the total outstanding borrowings under the Term Commitment
                 shall not at any time


                                       2


<PAGE>   3
                 exceed the maximum principal amount available thereunder, as
                 set forth above.  The outstanding principal balance of the
                 Term Commitments shall be due and payable in full on January
                 10, 1996; provided however, that so long as Borrower is in
                 compliance on said date with all terms and conditions
                 contained herein and in any other documents evidencing the
                 Credits, Bank agrees to restructure repayment of said
                 outstanding principal balance so that principal shall be
                 amortized over three (3) years and shall be repaid in
                 thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments.

                          (d)     Prepayment.  Borrower may prepay principal on
                 the Term Commitment at any time, in any amount, without
                 penalty.  All prepayments shall be applied on the most remote
                 principal installment(s) then unpaid.

                          (d)     Loan Fee.  Borrower shall pay to Bank a
                 non-refundable loan fee for the Term Commitment equal to
                 $15,000.00 which loan fee shall be due and payable in full
                 immediately upon demand by Bank."

         4.      Section 1.5. of the Credit Agreement is amended by adding the
Term Commitment to the enumeration of the Credits, and the Term Commitment Note
to the enumeration of Notes.  The Term Commitment is hereby deemed to be one of
the Credits and the Term Commitment Note to be one the Notes.

         5.      Section 1.9. is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the
following substituted therefor: 
                 
                 "SECTION 1.9.  GUARANTIES. All indebtedness of Borrower to 
                 Bank pursuant to this Agreement shall be guaranteed by 
                 Austron, Systems and the Company (each, a "Guarantor") in the 
                 principal amount of Twenty-Seven Million Dollars 
                 ($27,000,000.00) each, as evidenced by and subject to the 
                 terms of guaranties in form and substance satisfactory to 
                 Bank."

         6.      Borrower has advised Bank that Borrower intends to offer
additional shares of its common stock for sale to the public (the "Offering").
The Offering is expected to be completed in November of 1995.  With regard to
the Offering,

                                  (a)      Borrower hereby represents and
                          warrants to Bank that the Offering shall comply with
                          all applicable laws and regulations; and

<PAGE>   4
                                  (b)      Borrower hereby agrees to use
                          proceeds from the Offering to prepay all amounts
                          outstanding under Term Loan I and Term Loan III,
                          which prepayment shall be made on or before December
                          31, 1995.

         7.      Borrower shall cause Austron and Systems to execute and
deliver to Bank modifications to the deed of trust and mortgage previously
executed by them, which modifications shall be in form and substance
satisfactory to Bank.

         8.      Except as specifically provided herein, all terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect, without
waiver or modification.  All terms defined in the Credit Agreement shall have
the same meaning when used in this Amendment.  This Amendment and the Credit
Agreement shall be read together, as one document.

         9.      Borrower hereby remakes all representations and warranties
contained in the Credit Agreement and reaffirms all covenants set forth
therein.  Borrower further certifies that as of the date of this Amendment
there exists no Event of Default as defined in the Credit Agreement, nor any
condition, act or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time
or both would constitute any such Event of Default.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to
be executed as of the day and year first written above.
